I have a 12 bolt with a stripped out fill plug in the stock housing so in the past I have always just added 2 quarts of fluid and called it good through the fill plug on the top of the aftermarket rear cover. But this time around when i was inspecting the inside of the housing on a fluid change it dawned on me that the cast aluminum cover probably holds additional fluid and I really do not know if I had the correct amount in there to begin with.
How much fluid should be run in this application.
I am using the Richmond Synthetic gear lube.
Thanks,
Chad
